This module provides access to the Unix group database.
It is available on all Unix versions.

Group database entries are reported as 4-tuples containing the
following items from the group database (see <grp.h>), in order:

Index

Field

Meaning

0

gr_name

the name of the group

1

gr_passwd

the (encrypted) group password; often empty

2

gr_gid

the numerical group ID

3

gr_mem

all the group member's user names

The gid is an integer, name and password are strings, and the member
list is a list of strings.
(Note that most users are not explicitly listed as members of the
group they are in according to the password database. Check both
databases to get complete membership information.)
